Chelsea may have won the other game as well, but the score will bring any possibility.  We can see a very exciting match in the rematch.
Atletico Madrid is a strong enough team. I don't think Chelsea will be able to win the next match against them. They are in great form in La Liga. Maybe they lost 1-0 in a match against Chelsea. That was not a big defeat. But I think they will comeback destructively in the next match
Losing 1-0 at home is already a big deal. Do not forget that they are also trying to protect their three point lead in La Liga and that makes it harder for them to balance their squad in both competitions. Chelsea has much less at stake and they can play more freely in the second leg.
I agree with you. Atletico Madrid wants to play well in both La Liga and the Champions League, but Chelsea has given more importance to the Champions League, I think that's why they have been able to win. Atletico Madrid should take La Liga a little less seriously now, properly preparing themselves for their next Champions League match

maybe because the confidence of the Chelsea players is good...
Not just the team but the couch as well. Thomas Tuchel might not be an EPL couch but, his an experienced UCL couch with PSG. Maybe he didn't take the UCL with Real Madrid and Bayern dominating the league few seasons back but, his got some tricks to aid him stay in until the league is almost at a close.
He and Chelsea did themselves a miraculous win yesterday. I was amazed Chelsea actually won Atletico Madrid at home in all there fitness with what we've witnessed from them in the Laliga this season. Haven't lost just 2 and drawn 2 games through all the game played so far. Chelsea winning yesterday did them solid in avoiding being knocked out. Thomas Tuchel is slowly getting in his team quite well, good game.

Atlanta vs Real Madrid fixture is going to be a tough one. I'm expecting a lot of goals in this one. Can't say who wins but i hope Madrid wins.

I was sure that Atletico will beat Chelsea and will score a lot of goals, but for some reason English clubs are lucky in European championships lately...
Let's see how the Spaniards will respond in the away match!

during this pandemic it is very difficult to guess which team will win, teams from England or Spain are the same the odds are 50:50. *btw, Real vs Atalanta and Man City vs Monche will be the closing match today. I have hope in Madrid and Man City

Spanish league's teams are not doing well in the Champions League. The top team in la Liga also lost to Chelsea in the Champions League.
Are other leagues more advanced than the Spanish league

That's an interesting fact but lets not call it a day yet as they still have second leg and there is very little chances for those LaLiga teams in second leg but they have plenty of good players to turnaround. Does anyone recall the Barca turnaround against PSG in CL (16-17)  round of 16? They don't have the players like they had then but I think they have the ability to change it but it will take a lot of effort. As for Sevilla and Atletico its not that hard for them as it is Barca so they also have a good chance.

I won't talk about Spanish teams and finances but if you look at both big teams of LaLiga - Barca and Real Madrid , you will find they have struggled in LaLiga as well. It's all about management and play level of the teams that has dropped. You can take a bit of finance as a factor too but there are other factors as well - hence all inter-related.

Messi will not leave for China while Ronaldo plays in Europe)). He may continue to play in Barcelona, ​​which will happen in the end. His salary is too high and not many clubs will be able to pay it. Even if he gets it for free, it will cost a lot in the future. expensive.

I also doubt that Messi will leave the EU but not because CR7 still playing in the EU. I also doubt that he will stay in Barca since he has nothing more to give to the club and wants to seek new challenges (his words). As for the expansiveness, well we are talking for the #1-2 of the whole soccer world and he has at least 3 years of playing career. Besides, the signing of Messi from any team will boost her financially like Ronaldo boost Juve, like any major transfer boost any team.



The club's income depends more on the successful performance of the team, and not on the presence of Messi or Ronaldo in this team. What is the point of them if the team does not play acceptable in the Champions League or cannot become a champion. Fans will find another idol.

I was expecting that lazio vs bayern would be a much more closer match but lazio didn't really have a chance. The first goal was basically a own goal from lazio and from then on everything went in the direction of bayern munich.
The 3-0 was also initiated by a huge mistake of a lazio player and the 4-0 finally was a real own goal. So nothing really worked out for lazio during this match and bayern should be through to the next round.

Spanish league's teams are not doing well in the Champions League. The top team in la Liga also lost to Chelsea in the Champions League.
Are other leagues more advanced than the Spanish league? What do you think? Spanish league teams are richer than other league teams.
If I'm not mistaken, Barcelona and Real Madrid are the first and second richest football clubs in the world.

It is very interesting, I agree. I can't say that I'm very surprised about Barcelona's loss. I was expecting them to get a draw at least. But they were not giving good signals already and PSG demolished them with a nice play. But Sevilla and especially Atletico really shocked me with the results they got. Atletico didn't even really fight for the win. By the way, you are right. Barcelona are the richest and Real Madrid are the 2nd in the list. Anyway, I think it won't be the same for Real Madrid tonight and they will draw with Atalanta at least.

Atletico on their last games are not doing well they lost at home twice in laliga and against chelsea they should recover soon because if they dont they will not be able to win in england since chelsea are unbeatable with  tuchel.

Only Real Madrid left tonight will this be El Real's win? I see that Atalanta's record is also good to compete in the EUFA so Real Madrid will continue to try to win in this match, I know how the tactics of a coach Zidane when he was playing in the Champions League I hope in the Spanish league someone will represent him after Barcelona and Atletico lost before.

It is difficult to say that the LaLiga club will rule again in the champions league after experiencing a downturn, especially Barcelona, which still has rumors about the departure of the mega star Lionel Messi.
The record and pedigree of Real Madrid in previous UCL is one of the yardstick in rating them in the competition they have a consistent good outing in the previous seasons so I don't see any threat by Atalanta in today's match despite the poor runs of both Barcelona and atletico, Zidane had the experience and the magic wand to win the match with the calibres of players at his squad, although they shouldn't underrate and avoid overconfidence Atalanta today else they will can get punished and lose the match.

In Stamford Bridge?, it's hard for to Atletico get the winner, Chelsea is bad in the premier league, they will focus on the champions league only, therefore they will fight much.

I bet for Madrid and city for the next games, the city didn't really think about premier they had a gap of 10 points, they also focus on double-winning this year.

Tonight Real & Man City should win, this is the CL though, anything can happen.

Let's take it easy...

Of course, we cannot compare Atalanta with Real, the Italian team is excited but knows that it is not the favorite and that it doesn't have an "obligation" to win.

But Real has a lot of absences, one of them is Karim Benzema who replaced Cristiano Ronaldo, it seems to me that the brazilian Vinicius Junior is taking this place, and I don't expect much from him, lets see.

Zidane has only few players in the main team and had to resort to the "second team" to recompose the reserve team ... hopefully this team will understand on the field to withstand the Colombian attack by Atalanta.

Borussia Moenchengladbach will have a difficult task tonight as they are be facing Manchester City.
Tge blues are in a hell of a and i don’t expect to see any surprises here. The English side should secure the advantage in the first-leg match without major trouble. Especially when the hosts are struggling in recent form getting just one point in their last 3 matches. But they will be atleast looking to score a goal that's why I'm going with BTTS.

For me, i do not think Mochengladbach would have it difficult in tonights  tie because they do not stand a chance to compete at all; Manchester city side is in flyng form and i expect nothing less than a 3 0 victory aaway in germany from pep side.

Bayern after this game looks like one heavy contender to win the Champions League.I knew somehow that Atletico Madrid would screw up but I didn’t have the guts to bet on Chelsea yesterday.You cannot expect anything good from a team which draws and lose to Levante in just three days difference.

It looks ominous for the other teams after seeing Bayern last night, they are the team to beat. I was surprised Chelsea beat Atletico, I have always despised Atletico’s style with Simeone though. Tonight Real & Man City should win, this is the CL though, anything can happen.

Seems my idea worked out Smiley Chelsea won 1-0 and they should have even win with at least two goals ahead since Chelsea was clearly the better team with some missed chances.

That really surprised me winning with 1-0 against Atletico. Great job with getting advantage over if first leg but yeah its not job done yet Wink .


The team is much more stable in the defence and the offensive is more effective. That doesn't mean that they will move on to the next round. The second leg will not be easy. But they scored an away goal so they can play for a draw now. All cards are with Chelsea.

I would say that Chelsea under Tuchel seems much more organized and bit sharp as compared to the team under Lampard. Defense has gone serious and attacking is also going on decent. Still with the depth like Chelsea has right now they should be scoring more goals - I am not saying from CL point of view but also PL and other leagues. You never know when the lead might get overturned. There are lot of concerns inside Chelsea still but it is showing signs of slow improvement.

They and City have been the favourites since Day 1 outrights actually, so no surprise there. And they still are the favourites according to the bookies right now. I dutifully put my bets in before group stages on Liverpool (7/1).

Last week, City were 25/1 to win the quadruple though, a special I missed out on. Don't think they'll win CL but that's better value than an outright standalone I feel.

I am also optimistic that Manchester City will have no difficulty facing Moenchengladbach, especially since Manchester City's performance is
very consistent. Meanwhile, Moenchengladbach has had a very poor performance in the Bundesliga, from the last 5 matches, they were only
able to win one. Then if you look at the head to head of the two teams in the Champions League, it's clear that Manchester City is better.
From 4 meetings with Moenchengladbach in 2015 and 2016, Manchester City have won 3 matches and one draw. From this comparison,
it is clear that Manchester City's chances of winning are huge.
